L, very “creative”! Best lump free white sauce tip - use a wire whisk when you’re beating the milk in, instead of a spoon or whatever you’re using now. It really works. When you tire of Martha…..get into a bit of Nigella being a domestic goddess! Nothing like the saucy Nigella to make one feel like an inadequate housefrau having a bad hair day! lol xxx

No menu plan here, but can I come for dinner tonight? It sounds so delicious!

My menu plan is up also, although nowhere near as interesting as yours LOL.

I will have to try one day for something more extravagent sounding.

And yes, it's very late here. My comments are getting less and less legible. Sorry!

SBW - what? you’re so busy you only eat 1 meal for the whole week? Or that 1 meal lasts you for a whole week? LOL. How do you use yoghurt in white sauce? Or do you use yoghurt AS a white sauce?

dollfinn! (also with the exclamation mark so I notice lol) - the red bits are me when I’m in a good mood. LOL. Tend to let things “all hang out” a bit more. That’s a terrible sounding phrase but I’m rather tired now and can’t work out a better way to explain it. Glad it made you smile. I am never delusional enough to think I *might* be a Martha Stewart (that is her name isn’t it? Sounds rather strange right now….don’t you hate those moments?)…but I know at times blogs can give an incorrect perception.

LOL Lightening, Keep up the comments in red, very nice to see the real personality poking through, Martha Stewarts just a little to unreal for my liking, or maybe its just cause she isnt a down to earth Aussie woman.

Hey Anonymous, if you are in Brisbane, try contacting Cardinal Seafoods, they are a huge wholesaler. Not sure wether they sell to the average public or not, but if you were buying a bulk order they might. I can guarantee their whiting fillets are divine! (and i dont like much seafood at all, only eat whiting or cod as the rest plays with my asthma too much). Other cities I have no idea, but most coastal towns have Co-ops, so if you were to drive out of the city a bit you may find a good Co-op and they can generally recommend to you what fish is in season and what will suit your tastes etc.

Ok well I am going to attempt a sort of menu plan, which is something I normally dont do as I buy whatever is cheapest when i do the shopping, and the remainders are dependant on the garden.

Will have a go at the linkylove lol.

River - thanks for your suggestions and your concern. I won’t really be scrounging things from the bottom of the fridge. Not quite anyway. It’s just that we’re almost to the end of the salad I have on hand so it’ll be interesting to see what we have left. I have plenty of lettuce in the garden at least. I have a slight tendency to exaggerate at times.:)

Scott - LOVE the richly textured idea. Look out for that phrase in one of my upcoming menu plans!

My secret for a smooth white sauce: yogurt.

I haven’t planned my meals this week since it’s Thanksgiving here. It’s all about one meal this week.

Instead of lumpy - how about “richly textured”?
